Principles of Program Design and Programming

    Let's make a little identification about the topic. 

  💁 What is a Computer?

               

 A computer is an electronic device that processes data to perform various tasks. It consists of  hardware, software components and input/output devices.

    Computer processing

    

The Central Processing Unit ( CPU ) is a fundamental component of a computer system and is often referred to as the "brain" of the computer. It performs most of the processing operations inside a computer, executing instructions and managing data manipulation. The CPU interprets and executes instructions from the computers memory, coordinating the activities of all the hardware components to perform various tasks.

Machine Language

Machine language is the language understood by a computer. It is very difficult to understand, but it is the only thing that the computer can work with. All programs and programming languages eventually generate or run programs in machine language. 

Computer Program

A computer program is a collection of instructions that can be executed by a computer to perform a specific task. A computer program is usually written by a computer programmer in a programming language. 

Von Neumann Architecture 

Von Neumann Architecture refers to a design model for computers where the processing unit, memory and input/output devices are interconnected through a single, central system bus. This architecture was first proposed by John Vo Neumann, a Hungarian-American mathematician and physicist, in the mid 20th century.
